The Physician Assistant

Foreword

ith the printing of the 13th edition of The Physician Assistant, we at CAPA can look back and see the progress that our profession has made over the years. All those who came before us should be recognized, for it is because of their hard work we have matured to the great profession we are today. The Physician Assistant is an excellent educational tool for those who want to learn about physician assistants and the critical role we play in the health care team. CAPA is here to fulfill our mission as stated below.


The Mission of the California Academy of Physician Assistants is to represent and serve PAs statewide.
